A public outcry against lottery schemes is on, and May is sent to locate the shop where the lottery is conducted. She discovers the plant in the rear of a Chinese laundry, and notifies the police. But she makes them promise not to raid it until ten o'clock the following night, so that she may have time to get the story for her paper, and also because at that time the owner of the place may be found on the premises. The next night when she goes to the shop, she is dismayed to discover that the owner is Jason Hunter. She has no way of heading off the police at that hour, though she resolves to "throw" her paper for Hunter's sake. She hurriedly runs out, takes down the laundry sign and puts it upon a shack two doors away. The police raid an innocent place, and May returns to the office and is dismissed for failing to get the story. Next day Jason learns of this. He confesses to his father, May is restored to her job and Jason gives up his foolish ways. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
